We are going to end off 2023 interviewing an Author and giving a Book review that has our Blerd stamp of approval.

 For this final week of 2023 we read Jaurice Smiley's Tourian and The Royal Gray Box. “Tourian” which Jaurice wrote back in 2011, follows the life of Whitney Rich, our main protagonist and black girl superhero. “The Royal Gray Box” presents a captivating array of short stories, featuring fighting game tournaments, fatherhood, romance, and overcoming anxiety.
